Description

This excellent 5.7, starts at the lowest part of the cliff. Climb 5.6 face past a bolt to a bulge. Step left over the bulge and follow bolts to a ledge. Rappel.

Location

While not a bad route, my big thought after climbing this was "Boring". Most of the climbing, esp. the second half, is on big knobs and feels like a gym climb. Runout is on 5.6 with big knobs, Tri-cams and cams make most the top half feel safe.

Fun, easy climbing, a bit run-out in places. Two pitches - I linked this as one 170' (+/-) pitch to the upper-ledge. Brought a handful of smaller cams; used a yellow TCU, Camalot, and Alien, I believe. When setting a TR on neighboring routes, you can call "rope" and let the rope snake, end-first, down the face slowly.. or unexpectedly throw a mass of tangled rope down on the party below, spilling their beer.. your call.

The route is 165' with a rap anchor at the top (slung thread and 1 bolt). There is also an anchor with welded shuts at 100'. So you can rap with one rope. We used a 70m but I think a 60m would work.
